Jay Johnson - Long Road to Heaven
	lyrics
Long Road To Heaven - c.1999 IMAGES/jayjohnsonmusic.com I fought a losing battle with the demons of my past. I hear the snakes begin to rattle. I might have seen my last. Theyre hiding in the grass thats growing in the cracks of a broken heart. A lonely man at the end of Lonely Street Ive done played my hand to the dealers at my feet. Theyre waiting in the grass thats growing in the cracks of a broken heart. CHORUS Its a long road to heaven when youre standing down at the gates of hell. Im putting my faith in a lucky seven That never shows his face and lately Im thinking its just as well. I spin the tale of a bottle that robbed me of my prime With my hands still on the throttle of this freight train in my mind Thats rusting in the grass that growing in the cracks of a broken heart I tried to find a lover and I tried to find a friend But the search is never over when youre near the end You just lay down in the grass thats growing in the cracks of a broken heart. CHORUS
